Currently, xenobots are primarily used as a scientific tool to understand how cells cooperate to build complex bodies during morphogenesis. [1] However, the behavior and biocompatibility of current xenobots suggest several potential applications to which they may be put in the future.
The general concept of artificial machines capable of producing copies of themselves dates back at least several hundred years. An early reference is an anecdote regarding the philosopher René Descartes, who suggested to Queen Christina of Sweden that the human body could be regarded as a machine; she responded by pointing to a clock and ordering "see to it that it reproduces offspring."
A selection of simulated "swimbots" Artificial life (ALife or A-Life) is a field of study wherein researchers examine systems related to natural life, its processes, and its evolution, through the use of simulations with computer models, robotics, and biochemistry. [1]
“This living skin would be particularly useful for robots that interact closely with humans, such as health care, service, companion and humanoid robots, where human-like functions are needed ...
Before the term "animatronics" became common, they were usually referred to as "Robots". [5] Since then, robots have become known as more practical programmable machines that do not necessarily resemble living creatures. [6] Robots (or other artificial beings) designed to convincingly resemble humans are known as "androids".
Engineers are increasingly creating artificial robots out of real, living tissue and cells Scientists say regulation is urgently required for ‘living robots’ Skip to main content
In the first case, the robot would be recognizing gestures made by the human, and perhaps repeating them for confirmation. In the second case, the robot police officer would gesture to indicate "down the road, then turn right". It is likely that gestures will make up a part of the interaction between humans and robots.

Stephen Hawking says robots will replace humanity completely. The physicist told WIRED magazine he believes artificial intelligence will eventually become so advanced it will essentially be a "new ...
